Abstract

The southern coastal area of West Java is the region that has the potential of tsunami. It has geological conditions that face the active margin boundaries and historical data of tsunami events which occurred in southern part of West Java. The purpose of this research was to measure the spatial modelling of the tsunami hazard zone as a prediction and better mitigation in the near future. Exploratory method used in this research was through observation and measurement of research variables, where both physical and social parameters were taken directly from the field representing the population. The sample area was Cipatujah, an area located in West Java province, Indonesia. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in this research in order to make value and weight of each tsunami’s indicator and the further analysis using GIS approaching in order to make spatial modelling of tsunami inundation zone with the elevation indicators. The results show that the Cipatujah has two types of tsunami hazard; medium and high-level zone. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
